From the Elder's Pen "Some Thoughts On Giving" 6/9/02 Past/Future Articles

Still, as of old, man by himself is priced.  In a very real sense, Judas sold himself, not Christ.

A Christian once prayed, “Father, help me to have the strength to give ten percent of my income until I learn to give as I have been prospered.”

It is easy to lose interest in the church when we have so little invested in it.

The lad who gave all his loaves and fishes did not have to do without his supper.

Giving is not just a way of raising money!  It is God’s way of raising men!

It’s easy to know when to stop giving to the Lord– just give until He stops giving to you.

If a man must go to jail for robbing another man, where should a man go who robs God?

$END THE GOSPEL.  Take away the dollar sign and see what’s left!

You cannot out give God!  Have you ever tried?

An average of 3% giving will never enable the Gospel to be preached to 100% of the world.

There is not anything more UNLIKE God than selfishness.

When we spend our money for any purpose, we lead ourselves to that purpose.
